How Times Have Changed - Speechless

As I will be busy being inspired today (no giggles) - I thought this Vintage Advertising might be a good one to feature on account of the fact that it left me rather speechless, not a common occurrence as many of you might have guessed. 

Your thought and comments - very much appreciated as always!

    To be honest I'm sort of lost for words. Even then how could they believe that blowing smoke in a woman's face would be enticing!!
    Unless the idea is to blind her so she can't see if whetther hes ugly or not lol

    I remember having chewing gum with me at the teenage discos, just in case I wanted to slow dance and he had been smoking. Funny thing was I was so picky, I would just end up chewing my own gum!

    When I was a lass - for a man to blow smoke in a a womans face was an invitation to go to ... well, somewhere with him!

    There is so much wrong with this picture I don't know where to start :-) Is the smoke laced with some kind of powerful aphrodisiac? And I love how underneath it says, "You get smoking satisfaction without inhaling smoke". Um, what?!

    OMG! WTF? Blow in her face?! "Hit her with tangy Tipalet cherry? Or tangy grape-y Tipalet Burgundy"

    Is this an old version of the date rape drug? Seriously, men-who-smoke-and-still-think-it's-cool, DON'T BLOW SMOKE IN A WOMAN'S FACE. EVER.
